There is only one chance to cast a spell per turn, and equally one chance to attack with any creature and, importantly, one hit kills attacking, like the casting of spells, relies on percentage chance. All the spells (designated as 'law,' 'chaos,' or 'neutral') and the wide variety of summons, each with special abilities, are drawn from a randomised deck of cards, and each comes with a percentage chance of a successful casting, which depends on many factors, including the type of wizard created, and the current cosmic balance that switches depending on the types of spells cast. Going a little deeper into the battle mechanics, the start of each game begins with two players, or indeed up to four altogether, starting with a powerful wizard who can summon other creatures to do his bidding or launch devastating magic spells. That said, procedurally generated maps are on the way later in the development process, and a map creator for the community has already been released, so expect the variety of the maps to increase considerably as time goes by. For example, the dozen or so maps for each player usually only vary significantly in the amount of hills they have.
Anyone who has played X-COM will feel right at home with the system here, although some might find the environments lacking in a huge amount of variety, which does impact a touch on the level of strategic interplay that can be indulged in. Additionally, Chaos Reborn has a feel of the easy to learn, hard to master philosophy that makes it a compelling experience to come back to.īattles take place in colourful and lush fantasy-based environments built with a strategic hex-based movement system in mind. Equally, spell variety is broad without being overbearing. Matches against the AI in the skirmish mode (and, later in the development process of Early Access, an adventuring mode) and other players in the multiplayer component, are both fast-paced but also contemplative. The great thing about Chaos Reborn is that it balances a few key lines that often trip up many games.
